8 Out of 10 Cats
8 Out of 10 Cats is a comedy panel game on Channel 4. It was first broadcast on Friday 3 June 2005.
The show is based on opinion polls and draws on both pre-existing polls produced by a variety of organisations, and new polls specially commissioned for the programme and carried out by the company Harris Poll.
The host is Jimmy Carr and the regular team captains are Sean Lock and Dave Spikey in teams of 3. There is a rotating list of comedians and celebrities on each show (Johnny Vegas, Vic Reeves, Frankie Boyle, Emo Philips and even housemates from Big Brother to name a few). The title is derived from a well-known advertising tagline for Whiskas cat food which originally claimed that "8 out of 10 Cats prefer Whiskas" (later changed to "8 out of 10 owners who expressed a preference said that their cats preferred Whiskas").
A second series of the show started on Friday 10 February 2006, featuring the same host and team captains and a third series started on Friday 26 May 2006. A fourth series began on 20 October 2006.
